I have a question on Covid and eating disorders. We all have an idea why this has happened. Somebody who manifests an eating disorder sometimes does so because of control and because they have lost control due to something in their lives like a traumatic event. That manifests via someone refusing food, having low self-esteem and everything that goes with it. It is a highly complex issue. Why has there been an acceleration in eating disorders in the last two years, particularly for our young people?
